INVESTING IN WHISKY

Investing in single malt Scotch whisky is becoming increasingly popular. Sales of Scotch whisky have increased significantly in recent years. According to the Scotch Whisky Association, in just the first half of 2013, the value of whisky exports went up by 11 per cent compared with the same period in 2012, reaching almost half a billion GBP. We focus on investments in cask whisky which, according to experts, is currently the safest and most attractive form of investing in alcohol.
